I'm older now, and simple beer pleasures are the most meaningful to me. They tend to be encountered locally. It is my aim to get unplugged and explore some of them, slowly and thoughtfully.

"We're proud of the strong showing by Indiana brewers at GABF, one of the world's biggest beer festivals and most well-known competitions," said Rob Caputo, Interim Executive Director for Brewers of Indiana Guild. "Breweries in our state brought home nearly twice as many medals as expected, highlighting the variety and quality of beer produced in Indiana."

The winning beers will be available for a limited time. Menus are updated and posted daily on Tomlinson Tap Room's Twitter (@TomTapRoom) and Facebook accounts.

Award-winning breweries will also be pouring at Brewers of Indiana Guild's next beer festival, Winterfest, on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at Indiana State Fairgrounds. The event is one of three annual fundraisers for the Guild, the non-profit trade association that represents the state's craft brewing industry.
